I see drivers all the time, not just P-platers drive recklessly, endangering themselves and other motorists around them. Funny thing is, the majority I've seen driving like idiots were either in family cars, 4WDs or barely roadworthy 20y.o shitboxes.
I believe P-platers are unfairly represented when it comes to the media and road statistics, given the 'young and reckless/inexperienced' stigma that's attached to us.
That accident was a tragedy that could have been avoided.
but simply imposing restrictions on P-platers will not solve the problem altogether. Especially the restrictions brought on by NSW, It's ridiculous.
It seems like a bunch of legislation that was taped together overnight, without much planning, just to appease all the parent groups crying foul that the government wasn't doing a thing to stop the p-plater road toll.
